At an unmounted 9-inch diameter for the front suction cup and 6-inch diameter for the rear, Kupper Mounts uses “bigger is better” logic to create enough vacuum and surface area on the vehicle to quell concerns.

If you don’t know what ABS plastic is, let me debrief you. This sort of plastic offers a delicate balance of impact, heat, chemical and abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, tensile strength, surface hardness, and more. It remains rigid and sturdy even at significantly low temperatures. Mounting the Kupper Mounts Bike Carrier was straightforward. Clean the attachment points on the vehicle with a wet, soapy rag, and do the same for the cups if required. Moisten the cups and pump until the suction indicator no longer shows.

Kupper Bike Mounts: Massive Suction Cups Don’t worry about the vacuum loose, the 10” suction cup has powerful suction that can hold up to 48 hours if fully sealed. The red-Line Indicator warns user of any vacuum loss. When it shows less than 100% vacuum left, simply pump the plunger until you reach the original vacuum pressure without removing the cup.A pressure-release lever frees the front Kupper mount while the rear requires lifting an edge of the suction cup. Neither cup left marks on the vehicles other than clean spots from dust not being able to settle. A gentle reminder: If you want to enhance the suction power, you can rub a tiny dab of Vaseline or cooking oil on the rim of the cup. This procedure works like a charm. Typical rooftop and hitch-mounted bicycle carriers are a large investment. Drivers usually leave them in place, which affects mileage, creates noise at highway speeds, and generally detracts from the aesthetics of the car.
